Tile repair at your home in Tipner
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tipner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Common questions in Tipner
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it is not loose.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Tipner and the rest of Portsmouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Tipner
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
