How we handle tile repair in Upminster

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

10 questions to ask before booking

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Upminster and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Upminster, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Upminster?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Upminster questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Upminster?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upminster from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
