Landlords, agents and businesses in East Dulwich

For anyone letting property in or around East Dulwich, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Dulwich as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Tile repair in East Dulwich, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

East Dulwich questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What affects the price in East Dulwich

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in East Dulwich

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need tile repair in East Dulwich?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
