Tile repair at your home in Great Baddow
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
