Landlord and trade work in Chinatown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Tile repair in Chinatown without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Chinatown
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chinatown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
Your questions about tile repair in Chinatown
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it is not loose.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chinatown.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
