We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

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

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Erwarton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
