Tile Repair for Laffak homes
Problem with your tiled area in Laffak? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Tile repair in Laffak, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Laffak questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Laffak and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WA11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Laffak, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
