Tile repair at your home in Prickwillow
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Prickwillow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Prickwillow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Prickwillow
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prickwillow questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does tile repair cost in Prickwillow?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
