Tile repair in Unstone without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Unstone questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Unstone?
We do. We send a technician to Unstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 before you book.

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Unstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
