Tile repair in Upper Pond Street, 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’ll say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
