Tile repair in Lower Layham without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Layham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Lower Layham
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Layham. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
