How we handle tile repair in Mistley
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Mistley: your questions answered
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

How much does tile repair cost in Mistley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mistley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
