Tile repair at your home in Lower Holloway

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Lower Holloway

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Lower Holloway?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Holloway

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Holloway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Lower Holloway

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Holloway. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
