FAQs for Lower Midway
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How much does tile repair cost in Lower Midway?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
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.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Tile repair in Lower Midway, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
