Tile repair near Ixworth Thorpe

Tile repair in Ixworth Thorpe without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ixworth Thorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
