Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clatterford End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Tile repair at your home in Clatterford End

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about tile repair in Clatterford End

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.

  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.
