When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

How we handle tile repair in Acton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Acton clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Acton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
