Tile repair in Windygates without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Windygates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Windygates
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
