Tile repair in Ilston without replacing anything
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’ll say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ilston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
