Common questions in Coggeshall

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Coggeshall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Coggeshall?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coggeshall and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

About our tile repair in Coggeshall

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coggeshall use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Coggeshall

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Coggeshall, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need tile repair in Coggeshall?

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
