Tile repair in Leckwith without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Leckwith
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leckwith. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leckwith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
