Advice
Tile repair in Shotgate without replacing anything
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 say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Shotgate: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
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 if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SS11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
