Tile repair at your home in Lauriston
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 tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lauriston
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 are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lauriston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
