Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Tile repair in Ilketshall St Lawrence, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

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

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Your questions about tile repair in Ilketshall St Lawrence

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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 whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ilketshall St Lawrence. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
