How we handle tile repair in Cannon's Green
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Cannon's Green
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
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.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
