About our tile repair in Old Tame
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Repair or replace in Old Tame?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
