Tile repair in Little Heath

Tile repair in Little Heath, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

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

Common questions in Little Heath

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price tile repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RM6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
