Tile repair in Whepstead

Whepstead: your questions answered

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

About our tile repair in Whepstead

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Whepstead?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

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

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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 if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Whepstead

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whepstead. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Whepstead

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whepstead as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
