Tile repair at your home in Dedham Heath
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Dedham Heath
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Dedham Heath?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dedham Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
