How we handle tile repair in St John's Wood
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

St John's Wood questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you come to St John's Wood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to St John's Wood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Repairing versus replacing in St John's Wood
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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in St John's Wood
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St John's Wood. The price reflects:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
