Tile repair in Smeaton without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Smeaton as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Smeaton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Smeaton questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

The entire UK, including all of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What else we do in Smeaton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
