About our tile repair in Lee

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 say so. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lee

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Lee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

10 questions to ask before booking

Lee: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

If you are in Lee and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
