Tile repair in Tunstall without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Tunstall: your questions answered
How do I get a price for tile repair in Tunstall?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA6 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
