Tile repair in Slack without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
