Tile repair near Nine Ashes

Tile repair in Nine Ashes without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nine Ashes

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Nine Ashes: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Nine Ashes and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How much does tile repair cost in Nine Ashes?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Nine Ashes

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Nine Ashes get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
