Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle tile repair in Merstone
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Merstone
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Merstone: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, if it is not loose.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Merstone
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
