About our tile repair in Oakley
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Oakley
Common questions in Oakley
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
