Tile repair for Ingham homes

Tile repair at your home in Ingham

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingham. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ingham questions

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Ingham and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
