The Handfords: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including The Handfords and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we handle tile repair in The Handfords
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 tell you. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in The Handfords
Repairing versus replacing in The Handfords
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
