Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No extra charge for your area

Tile repair in Springwell without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Springwell
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SR3 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
