Repairing versus replacing in Oaken
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle tile repair in Oaken
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 say so. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oaken
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
