Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the entire of Middlesbrough?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Tile repair in Tunstall, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tunstall as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Tunstall customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When to call us in Tunstall

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Tunstall

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
