About our tile repair in Chalkwell

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Chalkwell

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Chalkwell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need tile repair in Chalkwell?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Chalkwell questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Chalkwell, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
