DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Tile repair in Shalford without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shalford. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Shalford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Normally one visit, start to finish
