DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about tile repair in Cross Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Cross Street and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
When a repair is not the answer
