Tile repair in Lower Street

Lower Street questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

About our tile repair in Lower Street

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Lower Street

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you need tile repair in Lower Street?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Street. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Lower Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
