Tile repair in East End without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East End. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
