About our tile repair in Framingham Earl
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
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.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Framingham Earl
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
