Tile repair in Semer, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t 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’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
