Tile Repair for Melby homes
Tile repair in and around Melby: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Tile repair at your home in Melby
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Melby
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Melby

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Melby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
