How we handle tile repair in Ore
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What else we do in Ore
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
