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. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
