Tile repair in Upper Bucklebury without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Bucklebury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the tile and remove 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Upper Bucklebury
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
