What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ryecroft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our tile repair in Ryecroft
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Ryecroft

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ryecroft questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Ryecroft?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
