Tile repair in Summerhouse without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Summerhouse
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
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’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Summerhouse
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
