DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
