Tile Repair in Lydiate
Fixed-price tile repair in Lydiate and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lydiate. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lydiate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
About our tile repair in Lydiate
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. 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. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about tile repair in Lydiate
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
