Tile repair in Malpas without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Malpas questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Malpas?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Malpas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Malpas
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Malpas. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
