About our tile repair in Old Grimsby
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Your questions about tile repair in Old Grimsby
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Old Grimsby. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
