Tile repair in East Ruston without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

East Ruston: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for tile repair in East Ruston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in East Ruston

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in East Ruston

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price
