- Chips from dropped pans and tools
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sterte. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle tile repair in Sterte
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Sterte
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Sterte
