Tile repair in Upper Loads, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Loads as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Upper Loads and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
