Your questions about tile repair in Mount Bures
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Mount Bures and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
About our tile repair in Mount Bures
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
