Tile repair in Ilketshall St Margaret without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ilketshall St Margaret questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ilketshall St Margaret. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
