About our tile repair in Broomhouse
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Broomhouse
Are there extra charges for Broomhouse?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Broomhouse included. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Broomhouse get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not 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.
