How we handle tile repair in New Basford
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for New Basford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including New Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in New Basford
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for New Basford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
