# Some of my tiles are chipped or damaged; how should I address this?

Inspect your tiles on delivery or collection and contact Tilemall promptly if you find chips or damage. Keep the packaging and take clear photos of the affected tiles, cartons and labels before cutting or installing them. Provide your order number and the quantity affected.

For transit damage, visible damage or short shipment, report the issue within 48 hours of delivery. This reporting window does not apply to wrong or misdescribed items and does not limit your Australian Consumer Law rights.

Do not cut or install affected tiles before discussing the issue with Tilemall. In some cases your tiler may be able to use a minor chipped edge in a cut piece, but this should not replace reporting the damage or having the issue assessed. Our team will review the evidence and advise the next steps; a replacement is not confirmed until assessment.

Contact (02) 7804 4588 or sales@tilemall.com.au. Ask your installer about an appropriate wastage allowance for the layout; extra tiles are not a substitute for resolving a damage claim.
