Your questions about tile repair in Out Elmstead
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Out Elmstead?
We do. We send a technician to Out Elmstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I need to be at home?

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Out Elmstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Out Elmstead. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
