About our tile repair in Tilehurst Within
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
What we’re called out for in Tilehurst Within

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire tiled area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
