- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How we handle tile repair in Ratby
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Ratby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Ratby
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Ratby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ratby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Ratby?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
