About our tile repair in Great Bromley
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Bromley
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Great Bromley
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Bromley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
