Tile repair at your home in Leachkin
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Take a look at our pricing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Leachkin: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Leachkin?
We do. Technicians travel to Leachkin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
