How we handle tile repair in Smallford
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Smallford
Do you cover Smallford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Smallford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Repair or replace in Smallford?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Take a look at our prices page.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
When to call us in Smallford
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smallford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smallford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
