How we handle tile repair in Salem
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Salem
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Salem. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
