About our tile repair in Fordham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For a price in Fordham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Fordham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Fordham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Repairing versus replacing in Fordham
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
