How we handle tile repair in Eltham

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.

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.

FAQs for Eltham

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
