About our tile repair in Mill End
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mill End. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Mill End
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
