Tile repair in Rough Common, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Rough Common
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Rough Common
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Rough Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Rough Common questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
