Tile repair in Lydiard Millicent, done in place
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 will tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lydiard Millicent. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Lydiard Millicent: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Lydiard Millicent?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lydiard Millicent included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you need tile repair in Lydiard Millicent?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
