How we handle tile repair in Essendon
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
