Tile repair in Canary Wharf, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Canary Wharf
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Canary Wharf. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Canary Wharf
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Questions to ask before you book

- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Canary Wharf. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
