Tile repair near Danbury

Common questions in Danbury

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it is not loose.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

About our tile repair in Danbury

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Danbury?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Danbury

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
