Tile repair at your home in Torwood
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles

Torwood: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
