Tile repair at your home in Tilery
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Tilery
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilery
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
