Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do I need to be at home?

Tile repair in Scotby, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
