10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair in Starling's Green, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Starling's Green

What does tile repair cost?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Starling's Green, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Starling's Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Starling's Green

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
