Tile repair at your home in Tarrant Keyneston
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarrant Keyneston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tarrant Keyneston. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
