Tile repair for Friston homes

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Tile repair in Friston, done in place

The tile stays where it is, 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 chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  • 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 before booking.

Friston questions

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it is not loose.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
