Advice
About our tile repair in Rochester
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
