Tile repair in Stanstead

About our tile repair in Stanstead

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Stanstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about tile repair in Stanstead

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
