Tile repair in West End, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West End. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles

Questions from West End
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in West End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
