How we handle tile repair in Speed Gate
We repair the tile in place, 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 are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
