What we do, step by step

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we handle tile repair in Monks Orchard
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

See our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, 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:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
