Need tile repair in Frinton-on-Sea?

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Tile repair at your home in Frinton-on-Sea

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Frinton-on-Sea: your questions answered

Do you come to Frinton-on-Sea?

We do. We send a technician to Frinton-on-Sea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Frinton-on-Sea?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Frinton-on-Sea get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Frinton-on-Sea

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Frinton-on-Sea contact us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
