Tile repair in Sutton, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sutton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Sutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about tile repair in Sutton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
