Questions from Porter's End
How much does tile repair cost in Porter's End?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG4 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Porter's End?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Porter's End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
