Tile repair at your home in West Coates
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 normally cheaper.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in West Coates
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
