How we handle tile repair in Longport
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Longport

Prices and what affects them

- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
