About our tile repair in Downham
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Downham: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Downham.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Downham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Downham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Downham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Downham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Downham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
