Floor tile restoration

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies that can repair and restore Minton tiled floors?

I’ve been able to find companies that do cleaning services but not repairs.

Some of the tiles in our hall at the bottom of the stairs have become cracked and chipped due to the floor being uneven therefore it needs levelling and the tiles repaired/replaced before the tiles are cleaned

My sisters old place had been repaired, and 2 tiles were the wrong way round. Just a few cm little tiles, and the colours weren't far off, but it drove my ocd mad whenever I visited!

My parents house had these tiles in the bathroom that me and my sister called the chick tiles apart from one which was on its head.

Drove me mad and that was before OCD had even been invented :)

Look at the shape from mid bottom of the tile to top left with a little beak about a third down on the left side. It looked like a chick when we were kids.
Well I never noticed that, ever. I'm sure ours were randomly placed, also they were a weird green/aquamarine colour..... Same pattern though.

We had a weird cork floor too in the bathroom, and halfway up the wall, although 1 wall was mirrored tiles! Living in the 70's!

A chap I know removed a lot of the cracked elements in this floor, where they had suffered from heel-strike over the decades and replaced them with bits that he had cut from suitably coloured quarry tiles.

It's hard to see where the repairs are.

However, this was ten years ago and he claims to be retired now.
