Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. In an older home in a village like Lye Cross, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.

What else we do in Lye Cross
What we are called out for in Lye Cross
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
For older houses around Lye Cross, near landmarks such as Christ Church, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
