Tile repair in Mile End, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Mile End
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
