How we handle tile repair in Nisbet
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Nisbet and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Nisbet questions
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Nisbet?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nisbet. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Nisbet?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Nisbet
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
