Tile Repair for Owton Manor homes

- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle tile repair in Owton Manor
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Owton Manor
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Do you need tile repair in Owton Manor?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Honest limits
