Tile repair in North Cray

Repairing versus replacing in North Cray

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How we handle tile repair in North Cray

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Cray. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for North Cray. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Cray, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will say what we think.

North Cray: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Across the UK, and that includes North Cray. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
