Tile repair at your home in Smalley
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Smalley. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Smalley
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Common problems we fix in Smalley
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Smalley
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
