Tile repair in Smethwick, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from Smethwick
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Smethwick?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What affects the price in Smethwick
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Smethwick. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B66 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Smethwick
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smethwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Smethwick
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
