Tile repair in Stapleton, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Floor and wall tiles

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire tiled area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
