DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our tile repair in Easthorpe
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Easthorpe and across Essex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Easthorpe: your questions answered
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Easthorpe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Easthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
