Tile repair in Ingatestone

Tile repair in Ingatestone 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. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingatestone. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Ingatestone

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM4 postcode.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Ingatestone?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ingatestone and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
