About our tile repair in Portslade
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portslade use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
