Tile repair at your home in Vogue

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Vogue

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Common problems we fix in Vogue

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Vogue

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Vogue?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Vogue

For anyone letting property in or around Vogue, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
