Tile repair in Shelton, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Other services in Shelton
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shelton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
Common problems we fix in Shelton
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shelton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
