Tile repair in Torrance without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torrance as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Torrance
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Torrance.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

Repairing versus replacing in Torrance
