About our tile repair in Lexden

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need tile repair in Lexden

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What tile repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Lexden and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Lexden

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does tile repair cost in Lexden?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Lexden

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Lexden customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
