Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

About our tile repair in Pickletillum
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the tile and remove 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Pickletillum

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
