Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle tile repair in Little Whelnetham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Little Whelnetham questions
Are there extra charges for Little Whelnetham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Little Whelnetham
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Whelnetham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Little Whelnetham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
