Tile repair at your home in Oldborough
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Oldborough: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Oldborough?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Repair or replace in Oldborough?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Oldborough
What affects the price in Oldborough
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 typically the cheaper route.
