Tile repair at your home in St Giles on the Heath

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
