About our tile repair in Shotley Grove
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
