Our hiring checklist

How we handle tile repair in Hackney Central

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Hackney Central

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Hackney Central get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Hackney Central

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackney Central as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Hackney Central questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Hackney Central?

We do. We send a technician to Hackney Central for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does tile repair cost in Hackney Central?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
