Trusted tile repair in Fobbing

Tile repair at your home in Fobbing

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Fobbing get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about tile repair in Fobbing

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Fobbing and the rest of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How much does tile repair cost in Fobbing?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Fobbing

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
