Tile repair in Idle, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Idle and across Bradford. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Idle
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Idle
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Idle?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Bradford?
All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
