How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Urswick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Most clients in Little Urswick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Tile repair in Little Urswick without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles

- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.

Little Urswick questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
