Tile repair in Sandridge without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Sandridge questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
