Tile repair at your home in High Cross

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Cross. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in High Cross

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in High Cross

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
