About our tile repair in Lower Key
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Lower Key
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
