Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our tile repair in Larkhall
A loose or rocking tile 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 chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Larkhall: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Larkhall?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Larkhall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Larkhall
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, 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 pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
