About our tile repair in Howe Street

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Howe Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Howe Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howe Street

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Howe Street: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Howe Street is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Howe Street?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Howe Street. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
