Tile repair in Ryde without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Ryde
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ryde. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Ryde, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Ryde
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
