Tile repair in Swarkestone without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Swarkestone
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
Take a look at our full price list.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swarkestone. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swarkestone
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
