Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
