Tile repair in Pilham without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Pilham questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the tile and remove 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
