How we handle tile repair in Leicester
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Leicester
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
