Tile repair in The Heath, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The Heath questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
Landlord and trade work in The Heath
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
