About our tile repair in Midlem
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Midlem: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to Midlem?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Midlem for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the tile and remove 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Most customers in Midlem get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
