Tile Repair for Gadebridge homes
Chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles in Gadebridge, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
About our tile repair in Gadebridge
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gadebridge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gadebridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Gadebridge
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Gadebridge questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
