Tile repair at your home in Stanmer
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanmer
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Stanmer questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Stanmer included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Stanmer?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stanmer from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
