DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our tile repair in Lower Mannington
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 say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Lower Mannington
Are you accredited?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BH21 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
