Tile repair in Addington, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Addington: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
