Tile repair in Haggerston without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Haggerston. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haggerston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
