Tile repair in Hockley, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Hockley
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hockley. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match

- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Hockley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repairing versus replacing in Hockley
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Hockley customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
