Tile repair in East Dean, done in place

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for East Dean. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in East Dean
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

East Dean questions
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we’re called out for in East Dean
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Dean
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Dean use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
