Tile repair at your home in Tantany
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most often 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. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?

Do I have to be there?

Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Tantany get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your B71 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
