How we handle tile repair in Shapwick
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Shapwick
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole tiled area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Questions from Shapwick
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Shapwick?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shapwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shapwick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
