Tile repair at your home in Whitton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Whitton
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Whitton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How much does tile repair cost in Whitton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
