Our hiring checklist

Tile repair at your home in Picketts Lock

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself 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. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles

Picketts Lock questions

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Do you cover Picketts Lock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Picketts Lock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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