Tile repair in Cranford St John, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
