Tile repair in Thorpe Green

Tile repair in Thorpe Green without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

Materials we work on in Thorpe Green

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Thorpe Green

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Green

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
