About our tile repair in Nettlestone
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Nettlestone
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
Across the UK, so Nettlestone is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Nettlestone
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nettlestone
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettlestone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
