Tile repair in Smockington without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Smockington
How do I get a price for tile repair in Smockington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LE10 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
