Tile repair in Riddlesdown without replacing anything

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CR8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
