Tile repair in Pennycross without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Pennycross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Pennycross
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
