What we do, step by step

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we handle tile repair in Acton Vale
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Acton Vale
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Acton Vale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Acton Vale
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
