Trusted tile repair in Thundridge

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Tile repair in Thundridge, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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

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