Tile repair near Childerditch

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle tile repair in Childerditch

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. 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, tracking down a matching tile 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 the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
