About our tile repair in Jack's Hatch
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Jack's Hatch: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Jack's Hatch?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Jack's Hatch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Jack's Hatch
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Jack's Hatch, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
