Tile repair at your home in Killerby
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Killerby
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Killerby
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Killerby, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles

FAQs for Killerby
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Killerby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Killerby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
