Esh questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Esh?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Esh
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Esh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Esh, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need tile repair in Esh?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles

- How the colour is matched
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Esh, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Esh
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
