How we handle tile repair in Writtle
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Questions from Writtle
How do I get a price for tile repair in Writtle?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
