Tile repair in Preston, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Preston
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about tile repair in Preston
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’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it is not loose.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Preston. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
