What affects the price in Smalldale
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How we handle tile repair in Smalldale
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smalldale
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smalldale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Smalldale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Smalldale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Smalldale: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
