When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.

Tile repair in Lewdown, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Lewdown?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What affects the price in Lewdown
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Lewdown
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Lewdown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
