Tile repair in Little Houghton without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Little Houghton
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Little Houghton. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
