Tile repair in Osney, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Osney questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Osney as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Osney
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
