Tile repair in Tylerscross without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Common questions in Tylerscross
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tylerscross.

What else we do in Tylerscross
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
