Tile repair in The Knap, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

The Knap: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

We do. We send a technician to The Knap for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What affects the price in The Knap
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
