Tile repair near Bow

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Tile repair in Bow, done in place

If a tile moves, it 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 damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Your questions about tile repair in Bow

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

How much does tile repair cost in Bow?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
