How we handle tile repair in Mount Ambrose
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Mount Ambrose: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Mount Ambrose
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mount Ambrose use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Mount Ambrose, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair 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.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Mount Ambrose
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
