Tile repair at your home in Sydling St Nicholas
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 say so. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Sydling St Nicholas
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Sydling St Nicholas?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sydling St Nicholas. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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

- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
