Tile repair at your home in Layston
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’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How much does tile repair cost in Layston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
