How we handle tile repair in Swanwick
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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 typically cheaper.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Most clients in Swanwick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Common questions in Swanwick
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Swanwick included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before you book.
