Tile repair near Almshouse Green

Tile repair in Almshouse Green without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Almshouse Green and across Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Almshouse Green. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Almshouse Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Almshouse Green

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Almshouse Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
