Tile repair in Shardlow without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shardlow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Your questions about tile repair in Shardlow
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Shardlow, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
