Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

About our tile repair in Palfrey
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Palfrey and across Walsall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Palfrey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Palfrey
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Palfrey as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
