Tile repair in Syston without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Syston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile 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.
