Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Older homes around Old Eldon may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Signs you need tile repair in Old Eldon
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
