Our expertise
No more difficult search for replacement tiles
Do you no longer have spare tiles? Then you could face a difficult search for replacement tiles because they are often no longer available. Cibor can use its TRH technique® to save you this trouble.
We possess the experience needed to remove both the tiles above the leak and the surrounding tiles without breaking them. The tiles can then be recovered and pipes remain intact. If necessary, we can also replace the tiles and re-point them — always trying to match the original joint colour wherever possible.

Your advantages
Tiles recovered, pipes intact
A misfortune never seems to come alone: damp damage is bad enough, but damage to floors or tiles during a leak repair makes things worse. With the TRH technique® the tiles above the leak and the surrounding tiles are removed without breaking them.
The tiles are recovered, the pipes remain intact and your underfloor heating stays undamaged. If necessary we replace and re-point the tiles, matching the original joint colour wherever possible.
