- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- 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
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle tile repair in Upton Towans
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Upton Towans

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
