About our tile repair in Quaking Houses
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Quaking Houses
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Quaking Houses
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Quaking Houses. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Quaking Houses. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Quaking Houses. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Quaking Houses, and we will reply with a fixed price.
