Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our tile repair in Shelf

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Shelf?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Shelf

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelf. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Questions from Shelf

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Shelf?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF35 postcode.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
