Tile repair for Aldersbrook homes

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Tile repair in Aldersbrook, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Aldersbrook

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Aldersbrook and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you cover Aldersbrook?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aldersbrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

When to call us in Aldersbrook

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

What tile repair costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Aldersbrook

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aldersbrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
