Tile repair in Portsea without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Portsea get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Portsea
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Portsmouth.
