How we handle tile repair in Lee Chapel
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lee Chapel use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

How we price tile repair

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lee Chapel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
