Arnos Grove: your questions answered
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How we handle tile repair in Arnos Grove
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need tile repair in Arnos Grove?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
