DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Tile repair at your home in Winterbourne
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winterbourne and across Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
