Tile repair in Upper Shelton without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Shelton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Choosing a repair company

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
