What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Tile repair in Marshside without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sefton. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Marshside questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Marshside.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
