Tile repair in Lakeside without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Lakeside questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repair or replace in Lakeside?
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lakeside. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas

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.
