Repairing versus replacing in Tantobie
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Tile repair in Tantobie without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tantobie questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Tantobie?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Tantobie?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tantobie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tantobie. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
