Tile repair in New Silksworth without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Silksworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

New Silksworth: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for New Silksworth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, New Silksworth included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Landlord and trade work in New Silksworth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
