Tile repair in Sanderstead, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Sanderstead

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Sanderstead

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
