Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle tile repair in Short Heath
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Short Heath and across Derbyshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Short Heath, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Short Heath: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Short Heath included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Short Heath?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Common problems we fix in Short Heath
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
