Tile repair in Debden

Tile repair at your home in Debden

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Debden. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Debden

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

Common problems we fix in Debden

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
