How we handle tile repair in Plaxtol
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common problems we fix in Plaxtol
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Plaxtol
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN15 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are there extra charges for Plaxtol?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What affects the price in Plaxtol
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
