Tile repair in Aldgate, Greater London

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Tile repair in Aldgate, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Aldgate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Aldgate
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does tile repair cost in Aldgate?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Repair or replace in Aldgate?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aldgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
