Tile repair in Ardingly

Tile repair in Ardingly without replacing anything

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. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Ardingly?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles

What affects the price in Ardingly

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardingly as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
