How we handle tile repair in Blacklands
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blacklands and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
