Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
How we handle tile repair in Sewards End
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Sewards End
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sewards End and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CB10 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
