Tile repair in Canton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Canton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done 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, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Canton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

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

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

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

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
