How we handle tile repair in Waterfront
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Waterfront?
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. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterfront. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Waterfront
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. 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.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
