Tile repair for Rainham homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Tile repair at your home in Rainham

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rainham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Rainham

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you come to Rainham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rainham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Rainham

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RM13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
