About our tile repair in North Hertfordshire
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about tile repair in North Hertfordshire
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
