Tile repair for Horringer homes

About our tile repair in Horringer

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Horringer and across Suffolk. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horringer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
