- 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

About our tile repair in Kesgrave
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about tile repair in Kesgrave
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace in Kesgrave?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kesgrave. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
