How we handle tile repair in Shelvin

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Shelvin?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelvin. What changes the price is:

How easy the damage is to reach
How hard the colour is to match
How much damage there is
How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

One picture of the whole tiled area
One sharp close-up of the damage
Where you are, by postcode
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Shelvin get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Shelvin

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?
