Tile repair at your home in Starcross
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Starcross
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
