How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Tile repair in Westbourne, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
