Tile & Ceramic Repair
Cracked or chipped a tile? When the original tiles are discontinued or hard to match, an invisible repair is often the only sensible fix — and far cheaper than re-tiling.

Finding an exact replacement for a damaged tile is often impossible, especially with older or discontinued ranges. Rather than re-tiling a whole wall or floor, we rebuild the damaged tile in place and colour- and texture-match it to the surrounding tiles for a seamless finish.
We repair cracks, chips, drilled holes and impact damage on ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles — on both walls and floors. This is ideal after plumbing or electrical work has left holes, or where a dropped object has chipped a feature tile.
Our repairs preserve your existing tiling and grout lines, avoiding the cost, mess and disruption of a full re-tile while restoring a clean, uniform appearance.
Repairing a damaged tile costs a small fraction of re-tiling an entire wall or floor. A full bathroom re-tile can cost £800–£3,000 or more — a professional tile repair is a fraction of that and avoids all the mess and disruption.
Repair vs. replace — why it makes sense
Before spending thousands on replacement, consider what a professional cosmetic repair actually delivers.

Drilled holes left by redundant fixtures — old towel rails, toilet roll holders, shower screens, shelves and mirrors — are one of the most common tile repairs we are asked to carry out. The hole is filled flush, texture-matched to the tile surface and colour-matched so precisely that the original hole location is impossible to identify.
Cracked tiles in wet areas such as showers and wet rooms require a waterproof repair to prevent moisture penetrating behind the tile and causing damage to the substrate. Our tile repair compounds and sealants are formulated for wet environments and provide a waterproof, long-lasting result that does not require any re-grouting.
Large format porcelain tiles — now very popular in modern UK bathrooms and kitchens — are prone to cracking when the substrate beneath moves slightly, particularly in newly built homes that are still settling. We repair these cracks invisibly, colour-matching the grey veining and micro-surface texture that large format porcelain typically features.
How it works
A straightforward process, from first contact to finished repair.
- 01
Damage assessment
We assess the crack, chip or hole and confirm the repair approach. Many tile repairs are quoted quickly from a photo via WhatsApp or email.
- 02
Surface preparation
Loose material is removed and the area is cleaned, dried and keyed to accept the repair compound and ensure strong adhesion.
- 03
Rebuild and match
The damaged area is rebuilt to the correct profile, then colour- and texture-matched to the surrounding tiles — including surface texture, pattern and grout line alignment.
- 04
Sealed waterproof finish
The repair is sealed flush with the tile surface. In wet areas and showers the seal is waterproof, preventing moisture ingress behind the tile.
