Tile repair at your home in Cranwich

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Cranwich

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranwich use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Cranwich

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Cranwich?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cranwich from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Cranwich, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
