Landlord and trade work in Harold Wood
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harold Wood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we handle tile repair in Harold Wood
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
In a smaller place like Harold Wood, most homes are houses or bungalows, so damage to a floor or tile stands out. It’s repaired where it is.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
