Tile repair at your home in Plaistow
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Plaistow questions
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Plaistow?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Plaistow and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Plaistow and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
What affects the price in Plaistow
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BR1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
