About our tile repair in Unthank
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Unthank
How do I get a price for tile repair in Unthank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Unthank?
We do. We send a technician to Unthank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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 clean the tile and remove 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Unthank, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
