Questions from New Malden
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes New Malden. Prices do not change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How we handle tile repair in New Malden
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
