Trusted tile repair in Croydon

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Tile repair in Croydon, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Croydon

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Croydon: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Croydon and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
