Tile repair in West End, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in West End
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
West End: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
