How we handle tile repair in Whitley Wood
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitley Wood as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Take a look at our pricing.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Whitley Wood: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Whitley Wood?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whitley Wood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
