How we handle tile repair in Low Gate
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Low Gate
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Low Gate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Low Gate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
