When a bathroom needs tiling or a tired floor has had its day, you want a tiler in Croydon who answers, turns up when he says he will, and tells you the price before any tiles come off the pallet. That is how Hills Maintenance & Repairs has worked for more than 30 years.
Rick started the firm after watching too many contractors cut corners on jobs they would never have stood for in their own homes. Every tiling and flooring job we take on across Croydon and South East London gets set out and finished to the standard he would want under his own roof, whether it is a single splashback or a full bathroom floor to ceiling.
A local tiler Croydon homeowners trust
We are based in Croydon and cover the whole of Croydon, from Addiscombe and Thornton Heath to South Croydon, Purley and Selsdon, plus the wider stretch of South East London, Kent and Surrey. You deal with a named local tradesman who knows the streets, not a stranger sent from miles away. He turns up himself, sees the job through, and leaves the place tidy.
You tell us what you want done, we look at it properly, and you get a clear written quote before we start. There are no "while we're at it" extras waiting for you on the invoice.
Tiling jobs we take on
Most weeks that means the tiling that finishes a room off, in the bathroom, the kitchen and anywhere a wall or floor needs a hard-wearing finish:
- Wall tiling, set out straight from a single splashback to a full room
- Floor tiling in ceramic, porcelain and natural stone, laid level
- Bathroom and wet room tiling, sealed so water stays where it should
- Kitchen splashbacks that wipe clean and last for years
- Removing and replacing old, cracked or dated tiles
- Re-grouting and re-sealing to freshen up a tired bathroom
Flooring fitted to last
We are not a tiling-only firm, so if you want the floor done too it is the same team and the same price. As floor fitters in Croydon we lay laminate, luxury vinyl, vinyl and engineered wood as well as floor tiles, and we get the subfloor right first. A floor is only as good as what is under it, so we level it, sort any soft or uneven boards, and fit from there. The result sits flat, does not lift at the edges and does not creak underfoot.
- Laminate flooring, fitted with the right underlay and expansion gaps
- Luxury vinyl and sheet vinyl, cut in neat to skirtings and door bars
- Engineered wood, laid to settle without gapping or cupping
- Subfloor levelling and prep before anything goes down
Tiling and flooring as part of a bigger job
Tiling and flooring is usually the last thing that happens in a room, which means it waits on every trade before it. That is where jobs with separate contractors go wrong: the tiler turns up to a wall that is not ready, or a floor someone else has left out of level. We do the lot in-house, so the bathroom or kitchen is tiled and floored by the same firm that fit it, and the walls are plastered and made good before a single tile goes on. One firm, one price, no one to chase.
Getting it right under the surface
Most tiling and flooring that fails does so because of what you cannot see. Tiles lift when the wall was not prepared, floors crack when the base moves, and wet rooms leak when the waterproofing was rushed. We tank and waterproof wet areas properly, level floors before tiling, set out from the centre so you are not left with a sliver of tile in the worst spot, and use the right adhesive and grout for the job. Done that way, it stays put.
What tiling and flooring costs in Croydon
Tiling and flooring is usually priced by the area, so the right figure depends on the size of the room, the tile or floor you choose, how much prep the surface needs and whether old tiles or flooring have to come up first. That is why we don't quote blind down the phone.
You tell us what you want done, we look at it properly, and you get a clear written price before any work starts, free and with no obligation. There's no call-out fee, no cash-only pressure, and no "while we're at it" extras waiting on the invoice.
