How we handle tile repair in Cat's Common
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cat's Common and across Norfolk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
