How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Temple Dinsley. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Tile repair in Temple Dinsley without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
