Tile repair in Layer Marney, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Layer Marney, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Layer Marney: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Layer Marney?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Layer Marney and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Signs you need tile repair in Layer Marney

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
