How we handle tile repair in Four Ashes
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
