About our tile repair in Stocks Green

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stocks Green and across Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about tile repair in Stocks Green

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you cover Stocks Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stocks Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
