About our tile repair in Wash Common
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. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Wash Common questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Wash Common
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
