Tile repair at your home in Kniveton
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Kniveton?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about tile repair in Kniveton
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Kniveton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
