Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How we handle tile repair in Wivenhoe Cross
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’ll say so. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wivenhoe Cross. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wivenhoe Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
