Tile repair in West Hill without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. 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.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
