How we handle tile repair in Upper Walthamstow
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Walthamstow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Upper Walthamstow
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Honest limits
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

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Walthamstow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
