Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Tile repair at your home in Milton
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Milton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Milton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
