Repairing versus replacing in Sproxton
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle tile repair in Sproxton
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Sproxton questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
