Tile repair at your home in Mackerye End
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mackerye End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mackerye End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Mackerye End
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Mackerye End is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace in Mackerye End?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
