How we handle tile repair in Trinity
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Trinity questions
Do you cover Trinity?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trinity for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Trinity?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trinity. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will 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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Trinity
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
