How we handle tile repair in Porthloo
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Porthloo
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?

What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Porthloo?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
