About our tile repair in Istead Rise
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Istead Rise. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Istead Rise
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Istead Rise as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
