About our tile repair in Palmers Green
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Palmers Green
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Palmers Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
