Dockeney: your questions answered
Do you cover Dockeney?
We do. Technicians travel to Dockeney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Dockeney?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Dockeney and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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 we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Dockeney
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
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 keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
