Tile repair in Crawley Down, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crawley Down as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Crawley Down

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
