Tile repair at your home in Shinfield
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Shinfield questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does tile repair cost in Shinfield?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Repair or replace in Shinfield?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
