Tile repair at your home in Yarwell
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 will say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Yarwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
