Tile repair at your home in Locks Heath
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Locks Heath
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Locks Heath
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Locks Heath?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does tile repair cost in Locks Heath?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repairing versus replacing in Locks Heath
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Locks Heath
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Locks Heath
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Common problems we fix in Locks Heath
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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’ll say what we think before booking.
