Tile repair near Folkington

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Tile repair at your home in Folkington

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Folkington and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Folkington questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Folkington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Folkington and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
