Tile repair in Lower Caversham, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Caversham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Lower Caversham questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
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’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
