Common questions in New Eltham
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you come to New Eltham?
We do. We send a technician to New Eltham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Tile repair at your home in New Eltham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in New Eltham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Eltham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
