How we handle tile repair in Swindon
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

About Swindon
Swindon is in England. Across the SN3 area, we carry out the work at your property. Our repair technicians cover 68 places across Swindon, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Swindon to Birmingham (about 63 miles away).
Postcode districts we cover here: SN3, SN25, SN5 and SN1. We regularly work on streets such as Emlyn Square, Market Street and Station Road and the roads around them. Being close to the A419 and A3102, Swindon is simple for us to get to. If you are just outside Swindon, we cover Okus (1 mile south), Gorse Hill (1 mile north-east), Upper Stratton (2 miles north-east), Stratton St Margaret (2 miles north-east) and Nythe (2 miles east).

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Swindon
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles

What else we do in Swindon
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swindon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
FAQs for Swindon
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Swindon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
