Tile repair in Tompkin, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Tompkin
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tompkin. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tompkin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tompkin as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Tompkin
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
