How we handle tile repair in Wickham Street
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Wickham Street
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Wickham Street
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wickham Street. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
