Tile repair in Snaresbrook without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Questions from Snaresbrook

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Snaresbrook and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
