How we handle tile repair in Harleston
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
In and around Harleston, floors and tiles in family homes take daily knocks. We repair damage without lifting the floor.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Harleston. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Harleston, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Harleston
Do you work for schools and businesses in Harleston?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Send pictures and details of the building.
My house in Harleston is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Normally, yes. Older tiles are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
