Tile repair in Staple Tye without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Staple Tye. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, 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. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Staple Tye, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Staple Tye

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Staple Tye?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
