Can you repair a cracked wall tile without re-tiling?

Yes. We rebuild and colour-match cracked wall tiles in place, avoiding the need to remove surrounding tiles or source a matching replacement.

Can you fill a redundant drilled hole in a tile?

Yes. Filling old screw or fixture holes in tiles is one of our most common jobs. We fill, texture-match and colour-match the repair so the original hole location is impossible to identify.

What types of tile can you repair?

We repair ceramic, porcelain, large format porcelain, natural stone and encaustic tiles on both walls and floors.

Can you repair tiles in a shower or wet room?

Yes. We repair cracked and chipped tiles in showers and wet rooms. The repair is waterproofed and sealed to prevent moisture penetrating behind the tile.

What if my tiles are discontinued?

This is exactly when a repair is the best option. We colour- and texture-match the repair to your existing tiles so finding a replacement is not necessary.

Can you repair large format porcelain tiles?

Yes. Large format porcelain repairs are a growing part of our work. We match the colour, veining and micro-surface texture of these tiles for an invisible result.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile?

Yes. We repair cracked floor tiles in place, colour-matched and sealed to a result that can withstand normal foot traffic.

My tiles were cracked by a builder — can you fix them?

Yes. Builder damage to tiles — cracks, chips and holes left after plumbing or electrical work — is one of our most common repair jobs.

How long does a tile repair take?

Most individual tile repairs take under two hours. Multiple tiles or larger areas of damage may take a half or full day depending on the extent of the work.

Do you re-grout after a tile repair?

In most cases re-grouting is not necessary. We match the grout colour and repair the tile to sit flush with the existing surface. Where a grout joint has been disturbed, we re-grout the affected joint only.

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.
