When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Tile repair in Wem, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Wem
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SY4 postcode.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Wem?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
