How we handle tile repair in Wokingham
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. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wokingham
If you manage property in Wokingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wokingham. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Wokingham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Wokingham
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
