Questions from Bildeston
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
About our tile repair in Bildeston
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Bildeston
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
