Trusted tile repair in Chinese Quarter

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle tile repair in Chinese Quarter

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. 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.

Chinese Quarter questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Chinese Quarter. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chinese Quarter

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
