Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shipley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
For a price in Shipley, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shipley: your questions answered
Do you cover Shipley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shipley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
