How we handle tile repair in Lately Common
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

Landlord and trade work in Lately Common
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Lately Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Lately Common
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lately Common. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
