About our tile repair in Bures

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Bures

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bures. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bures: your questions answered

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, and that includes Bures. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Bures?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bures from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does tile repair cost in Bures?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, 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

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