Book tile repair in Gaston Green

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

About our tile repair in Gaston Green

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Gaston Green questions

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Common problems we fix in Gaston Green

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
