Tile repair at your home in Lichfield
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. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lichfield
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about tile repair in Lichfield
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you cover Lichfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lichfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lichfield. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
