Tile repair in Melton Mowbray, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. 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.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melton Mowbray
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Do you need tile repair in Melton Mowbray?
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.

- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
