Repairing versus replacing in Shover's Green
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Replacement in Shover's Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while tile repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Tile repair at your home in Shover's Green
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
Rural addresses like Shover's Green just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When to call us in Shover's Green
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, original tiled floors and fireplaces are worth keeping, and chips and cracks can be repaired in place.
