Tile Repair in Sketchley
Chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles in Sketchley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle tile repair in Sketchley
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sketchley and everywhere else. 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.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace in Sketchley?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Sketchley
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Sketchley?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sketchley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Sketchley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
