Tile repair at your home in Wilbarston
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wilbarston. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Wilbarston: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?
