About our tile repair in Piershill
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.

What affects the price in Piershill

- The size and number of damaged areas

Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
