About our tile repair in Northchurch

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in Northchurch

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Northchurch

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
