- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare

How we handle tile repair in Greenside
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Greenside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
