Tile repair in The Common, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months in The Common and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match 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 normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from The Common

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes The Common. Prices don’t change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, 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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What affects the price in The Common

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

Whether we combine several jobs
The colour and finish to match
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
The material, if you know it
A picture taken from further back
Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
Next we fill the damage.
We shape the repair flush with the tile.
We match the colour and pattern by hand.
We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

Let us know if it has been repaired before
Have a window or extractor fan available
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
