  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Tile repair in The Green without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
