Tile repair in Royston, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Royston, and we will reply with a fixed price.
