How we handle tile repair in St Lawrence
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
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.

What else we do in St Lawrence
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Lawrence. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from St Lawrence
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to St Lawrence?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Lawrence from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace in St Lawrence?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Lawrence use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Do you need tile repair in St Lawrence?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
