Tile repair in Bennetts End, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bennetts End as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Bennetts End

Are there extra charges for Bennetts End?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Bennetts End?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HP3 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
