Precision colour matching ensures a natural and consistent pattern.

Additional structural correction prevents future cracking.
Tile Cracked Due to Skirting Expansion
A real estate agent we work closely with sent photos of a cracked floor tile. She could not find a matching replacement tile and asked whether restoration was possible. The crack was caused by thermal expansion of the skirting board, which had been installed without a gap and pushed against the tile during warm weather.
- No matching replacement tile available.
- Crack extended across the surface and was highly visible.
- Skirting expansion continued to apply pressure.
- Repair must blend perfectly to avoid patch marks.
Our Repair & Prevention Process
We removed loose fragments and stabilised the cracked section.
Colour-matched fillers and micro-texturing recreated the tile’s original appearance.
The repaired area was polished for uniform reflection and finish.
We trimmed a small section of the skirting board to introduce a proper expansion gap.
A flexible sealant was applied between tile and skirting to permanently prevent future cracking.
