How we handle tile repair in Plumstead

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

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

What affects the price in Plumstead

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Plumstead: your questions answered

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you need tile repair in Plumstead?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Plumstead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
