Tile repair at your home in Colney Street
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Colney Street
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
