Tile repair in Whitechapel without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whitechapel and across Greater London. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Whitechapel
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitechapel
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
