Tile repair in Ditchling Common without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Ditchling Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
