What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Can you quote from pictures?

Tile repair at your home in Grays
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Grays. The price reflects:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 pictures.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grays, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
