Tile repair at your home in Stroude
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Stroude

Stroude questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
