Tile repair in Takeley Street, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

What affects the price in Takeley Street

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need tile repair in Takeley Street

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Takeley Street: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Takeley Street

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
