How we handle tile repair in Scatness
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite

About tile repair
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Scatness
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Scatness
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
