Tile repair in Downham, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Downham
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Downham and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Downham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Downham
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Downham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
