Cracked and loose tile repair in Rainham, South Hornchurch and Beam Park. Single tiles replaced, hollow tiles refixed and the cause found, without retiling the whole room.
One cracked tile in a Rainham kitchen floor or a loose one in the shower does not mean the whole room has to go. Most can be cut out and replaced on their own, provided a matching tile can be found. Often there is a spare box left in the loft or garage. What matters is why it cracked. A tile that failed because of a dropped pan is a quick fix. One that cracked because the floor underneath moves will crack again unless the floor is sorted.
In Rainham, many of the floors we repair are in newer homes around Beam Park. There, a small crack in the screed shows through the tiles. The cost is set by how many tiles need replacing, whether a match is available, and whether the cause needs fixing first. A photo of the damage and the whole floor is enough to advise.
The grout cut out, the tile removed without disturbing its neighbours, and a new one set level.
Tiles that sound hollow are lifted, cleaned back and bedded properly.
Cracks along a line often mean a moving floor or a joint below. That gets looked at first.
A loose tile in a shower can mean water behind it. We check the wall is dry before refixing.
Surrounding grout cleaned or replaced so the repair blends in.
Flexible joints added in large floors to stop cracks returning.
A photo of the damaged tile and one of the whole floor. Add a photo of any spare tiles with a coin for scale. Tell us if the crack runs in a line. That points to movement underneath.
Photograph it with a coin for scale. Close matches can often be found, or a feature tile used for a few replacements.
Usually movement under them: flexing boards, a crack in the screed, or no movement joint in a large floor.
Old grout darkens with age. A grout refresh around the repair helps it blend in.

Yes, cracked wall tiles are removed and replaced in the same way, as long as a match is available.
You can walk on a floor repair after a day. The adhesive and grout need to cure first. A wall tile in a shower should stay dry for a day or two. We tell you the exact time for the products used.
