Tile Repair for Medburn homes
Damaged tiled area in Medburn? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our tile repair in Medburn
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Medburn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive

Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
