How we handle tile repair in Pool
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Pool questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Pool. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Pool?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Pool get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
