Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Colchester Green questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Colchester Green. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Colchester Green

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colchester Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
