About our tile repair in Shelley
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
