How we handle tile repair in Selborne
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Selborne. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
