What a repair cannot fix

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Tile repair at your home in Cheam
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Cheam?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Cheam
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does tile repair cost in Cheam?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SM2 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cheam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cheam, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
