Tile repair at your home in Sockbridge
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sockbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
