What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Tile repair in Thaxted, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Thaxted: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Thaxted and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
