How we handle tile repair in Stowe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Stowe questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Stowe and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. 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 a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
