Tile repair at your home in Selly Oak
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Selly Oak: your questions answered
How do I get a price for tile repair in Selly Oak?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B29 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Selly Oak. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
