Trusted tile repair in Clavering

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our tile repair in Clavering

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Clavering questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clavering.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Clavering?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Clavering and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Common problems we fix in Clavering

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
