Tile repair at your home in Clayton
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’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Clayton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clayton.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
