Tile repair in Little Canfield, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you have cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Floors and tiles in Little Canfield

Rented homes near Stansted Airport station (about 1.7 miles north-west) change hands often, and repairing tiles between tenants is quicker than replacing them. If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of All Saints, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Canfield. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Canfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included. Somewhere as small as Little Canfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the tile repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Replacement in Little Canfield means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Canfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
