About our tile repair in Purfleet-on-Thames
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 say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Purfleet-on-Thames, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
