Your questions about tile repair in Eastbourne

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Is my repair covered?

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Tile repair at your home in Eastbourne

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Eastbourne

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
