- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Tile repair in New Smithy, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in New Smithy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
