Ceramic and stone are the most common materials used for tiles Marble and cement tiles are also available Ceramic floor and wall tiles are the most common type of tile in homes

The production of ceramic tiles involves mixing clay and silica and firing them at high temperatures The firing process gives the tiles a smooth, shiny finish that’s also durable While it's durable and can withstand a lot of usage As soon as the top layer is damaged, water can penetrate the porous surface and cause mould to develop And this will weaken the tile over time When we repair the tile we will seal it so it not only looks beautiful again but also has its watertight and durable finish back

When a tile is damaged we have a specific process we use to repair it We fill the damaged area and colour match the pattern to ensure the repair blends in We spray or paint the colour-matched pattern to blend it in seamlessly This process takes about 1-2 hours depending on the extent of the damage Repairing tiles is a much faster alternative to tile removal and replacement It is also better for the environment as our tile repairs do not create any wastage that has to be disposed of at your local landfill site
