How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thatto Heath. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
