Need tile repair in Wivenhoe Quay?

How we price tile repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our tile repair in Wivenhoe Quay

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wivenhoe Quay

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.
