Tile repair in Great Dunmow

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Tile repair in Great Dunmow without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Great Dunmow

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We cover the whole UK, including Great Dunmow and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Great Dunmow

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Dunmow. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Dunmow, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Great Dunmow

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Dunmow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
