Tiles are often made from ceramic or stone Tiles can also be made from marble or cement The most common type of tile you'll see in a home are ceramic floor and wall tiles

Ceramic tiles are created from a mix of clay and silica that’s fired at high temperatures The firing process gives the tiles a smooth, shiny finish that’s also durable Even though they’re durable and able to handle a lot of wear Once the top surface is compromised, water will seep through and start to cause mould on the porous layer beneath Over time, this allows the tile to weaken Once we repair the tile, we seal it to restore its beauty and watertight durability

We have a specific repair method when a tile is damaged 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 Depending on the damage, this process usually takes between 1-2 hours Tile repairs are quicker than replacing the damaged tile altogether Repairing tiles is environmentally friendly as it avoids waste disposal
