Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton Heath

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Tile repair in Thornton Heath, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Thornton Heath

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need tile repair in Thornton Heath?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
