Tile repair in Mappowder, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Mappowder
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Mappowder
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How much does tile repair cost in Mappowder?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
