Need tile repair in Essex?

Tile repair at your home in Essex

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Pricing in Essex

Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Around Colchester

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House, among other places. Nearby too are Colchester Sixth Form College (under half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (less than half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. A little further out are Lion Walk (within half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (under half a mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Westhouse Wood.

Repairing versus replacing

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

What affects the price in Essex

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Essex, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Essex

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
