Tile repair in Shelton Lock, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelton Lock
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Shelton Lock, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Shelton Lock?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Shelton Lock?
We do. We send a technician to Shelton Lock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
