Tile repair at your home in South Hornchurch

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in South Hornchurch and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for South Hornchurch. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
