Chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles in Shirburn, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Tile repair in Shirburn without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Shirburn
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shirburn. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
