How we handle tile repair in Old Town
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Old Town
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What affects the price in Old Town
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repair or replace in Old Town?

Old Town: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
