Tile repair in Silvermills without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile 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. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Silvermills
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Silvermills?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Silvermills, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
