Tile repair at your home in Skitham
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Skitham
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Skitham
Are there extra charges for Skitham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What affects the price in Skitham
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Skitham
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
