Tile Repair in Colchester
Our technicians come to Colchester for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
About our tile repair in Colchester
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
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.

What else we do in Colchester
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Colchester
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
