DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Tile repair at your home in North End
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

North End: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in North End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
