How tile repair works in Brighton and Hove

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Cost

Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Brighton and Hove, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Brighton and Hove

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Repair or replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brighton and Hove use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Brighton and Hove

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
