Tile repair in Waterloo without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Waterloo

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Waterloo, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Waterloo

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Waterloo, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterloo as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
