How we handle tile repair in Meal Bank
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Meal Bank
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you need tile repair in Meal Bank?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Common reasons people in Meal Bank contact us include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Before you book anyone

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
