Tile repair in Shirland, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Shirland
Do you work in Shirland?
We do. We send a technician to Shirland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE55 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
