Tile repair in Taunton without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Taunton: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Taunton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Taunton and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
