Tile repair in Shiney Row without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shiney Row as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Shiney Row
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shiney Row. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens if you find more damage?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What else we do in Shiney Row
Landlord and trade work in Shiney Row
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Shiney Row
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
