DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Tile repair at your home in Mells
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Mells
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Mells is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Mells
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
