What affects the price in Old Oscott
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Oscott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Tile repair in Old Oscott without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Old Oscott and across Sandwell. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Oscott
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
