DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Tile repair in Maple Cross, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What affects the price in Maple Cross
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Maple Cross. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
