Tile repair for Highbury homes

Tile repair at your home in Highbury

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our prices page.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Highbury: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Highbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Highbury and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we are called out for in Highbury

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highbury

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
