Tile repair for Hinxton homes

About our tile repair in Hinxton

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hinxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Hinxton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Hinxton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hinxton and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

When to call us in Hinxton

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

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

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
