How we handle tile repair in Little Bromley

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Little Bromley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Bromley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
