Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Tile repair at your home in Cotton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Cotton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotton

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
