Tile repair at your home in Baker Street
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Baker Street
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Do you need tile repair in Baker Street?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Common questions in Baker Street
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Thurrock?
We cover the whole UK, including Baker Street and the rest of Thurrock. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What affects the price in Baker Street
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Baker Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
