About our tile repair in Hickling

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. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: 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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Hickling

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much does tile repair cost in Hickling?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR12 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hickling. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hickling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
