How we handle tile repair in Hawstead
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, 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.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Hawstead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Hawstead
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are there extra charges for Hawstead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hawstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
