Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Urafirth
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Urafirth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
