Tile repair in Workhouse Hill without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Workhouse Hill as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Workhouse Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, 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.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Workhouse Hill
Do you cover Workhouse Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Workhouse Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Workhouse Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
