About our tile repair in Leavesden
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Leavesden and across Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Leavesden
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leavesden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Most clients in Leavesden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Leavesden
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
