DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our tile repair in Stratford

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. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Stratford

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

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 tell you when the room can be used again.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stratford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
