Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tile repair in Tring without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tring. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire tiled area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tring, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
