How we handle tile repair in The Hummicks
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles 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. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in The Hummicks
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The Hummicks: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
