Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tile repair at your home in North Shoebury

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
We fill the chip, crack or hole.
We shape the repair flush with the tile.
The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
Finally we seal it to match the tile.
