The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare

Related advice
Tile repair in Marlow Common, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Marlow Common
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
