Tile repair near Hadleigh

Tile repair in Hadleigh without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Hadleigh

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Hadleigh and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hadleigh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
