- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Tile repair at your home in Messing
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Messing and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Messing
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Messing included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Messing?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Messing from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Messing. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
