  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

How we handle tile repair in Walworth

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. 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 quote.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
