Trusted tile repair in Doddinghurst

Tile repair in Doddinghurst, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Choosing a repair company

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Doddinghurst. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Doddinghurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Doddinghurst, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts 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.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
