How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like Birling Gap, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the tile repair, so there is no second trip.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Birling Gap
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
In the older streets of Birling Gap, around landmarks like The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.

FAQs for Birling Gap
I let a flat near Eastbourne station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
My house in Birling Gap is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Birling Gap?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birling Gap. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Birling Gap. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
