Tile repair at your home in Poets Estate
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’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
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.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about tile repair in Poets Estate
How do I get a price for tile repair in Poets Estate?

Are there extra charges for Poets Estate?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
