How we handle tile repair in Shepreth
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. 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 chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Shepreth
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Shepreth?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Shepreth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Shepreth
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
- Usually one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shepreth. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Shepreth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
