Tile repair in Chigwell, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Chigwell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chigwell use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
