Questions from Canonbury

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work in Canonbury?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Canonbury. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Tile repair in Canonbury, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Canonbury. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Canonbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Canonbury

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
