Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Bocking Churchstreet

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Bocking Church Street Primary School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Bocking Churchstreet: your questions answered

Can you restore the original tiles in an older house in Bocking Churchstreet?

Normally: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. For a home around Bocking Churchstreet where the tiled area is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
