Tile repair near Northdown

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Tile repair in Northdown, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Northdown: your questions answered

Do you come to Northdown?

We do. We send a technician to Northdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Northdown is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
