Tile repair for Stepney homes

Tile repair in Stepney without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Stepney

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stepney. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit
