Tile repair in Pickup Bank, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Pickup Bank: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it is not loose.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you need tile repair in Pickup Bank?

- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pickup Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote

- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
