How we handle tile repair in St Mary's
If a tile moves, it 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. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to St Mary's. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in St Mary's

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
St Mary's questions
Are there extra charges for St Mary's?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, if it is not loose.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

We cover the whole UK, including St Mary's and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
