About our tile repair in Swingate
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. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Swingate?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95.

What affects the price in Swingate
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swingate. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Swingate
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
