What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
Tile repair in The Folly, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Folly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about tile repair in The Folly
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Common problems we fix in The Folly
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
