- Repairs from £95
- Cracked floor tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
About our tile repair in Werneth
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Werneth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
