Tile repair in Herstmonceux without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Herstmonceux
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Herstmonceux.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Herstmonceux
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
