Tile Repair for Wellbank homes
Chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles at your home in Wellbank, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Tile repair in Wellbank without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Wellbank
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Wellbank
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
