What we offer in Wandsworth Common

Tile repair vs replacement

• Single slipped tile — quick repair, £150-£300

Matching existing tiles

The biggest challenge with tile repairs is matching the existing. We source from major UK merchants:

• Different brand tiles of similar profile are often a good match
