How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Tile repair in Morningside, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
