How we handle tile repair in Duton Hill

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Duton Hill

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We cover the entire UK, including Duton Hill and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work in Duton Hill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Duton Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

  • 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 you book.

What affects the price in Duton Hill

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
