Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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 normally cheaper.

Tile repair in Kensal Town without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kensal Town as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Kensal Town

How do I get a price for tile repair in Kensal Town?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are there extra charges for Kensal Town?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairing versus replacing in Kensal Town

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

If you are in Kensal Town and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
