How we handle tile repair in Roydon
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Roydon and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Roydon
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Roydon.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Roydon
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Roydon
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- 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.
How to prepare
