Tile repair in Great Wigborough

Tile repair in Great Wigborough without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Wigborough

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Great Wigborough

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Wigborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Great Wigborough questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Wigborough included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Great Wigborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Wigborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Honest limits

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

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
