Trusted tile repair in Chadwell St Mary

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Tile repair in Chadwell St Mary, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you 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 few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
