How we handle tile repair in Lower Willingdon
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about tile repair in Lower Willingdon
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We cover the entire UK, including Lower Willingdon and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to Lower Willingdon?
We do. Technicians travel to Lower Willingdon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
