For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
About our tile repair in Waterloo
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Waterloo, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Waterloo
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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 quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
