Tile repair at your home in Steep
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Steep
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Steep?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Steep from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does tile repair cost in Steep?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Steep, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
