Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Tile repair at your home in Poynders End
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
What affects the price in Poynders End
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once

Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Poynders End
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Poynders End?

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
