Tile Repair in Blackhall
Tile repair in and around Blackhall: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Tile repair at your home in Blackhall
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Blackhall
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Will it make a mess?

What happens if you find more damage?
