How we handle tile repair in Catford

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Catford as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Catford

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Catford

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you cover Catford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Catford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Catford

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
