Tile repair in Lyons, done in place
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. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
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.

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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Lyons
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Repairing versus replacing in Lyons
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyons use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
