The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Bow Common

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bow Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
