About our tile repair in Sticker

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Sticker, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Sticker

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
