Need tile repair in Holloway?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Tile repair at your home in Holloway

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Holloway

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlord and trade work in Holloway

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Holloway

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
