How we handle tile repair in Surrex

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Surrex and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Surrex customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Surrex

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

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.

Materials we work on in Surrex

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Surrex

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Surrex. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Surrex and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about tile repair in Surrex

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Surrex and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
