How we handle tile repair in Plumbland
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Plumbland
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
