How we handle tile repair in Wherstead

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
