When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Tile repair in Tipton without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
