Tile repair in Playing Place without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Playing Place questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
