Tile repair in Elsing

About our tile repair in Elsing

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Elsing

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Elsing: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Elsing and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
