About our tile repair in Harold Hill
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Harold Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Harold Hill?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RM3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
