Tile repair in Stapleton, done in place
The tile stays where it is, 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 discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stapleton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

When to call us in Stapleton
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
Questions from Stapleton
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Landlord and trade work in Stapleton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Stapleton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
