Tile repair for Gants Hill homes

Tile repair in Gants Hill without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Gants Hill

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Gants Hill

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Gants Hill

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Gants Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gants Hill and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
