About our tile repair in Downe
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Downe as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about tile repair in Downe
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What affects the price in Downe
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Downe. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
