About our tile repair in Maidenhall Estate

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

What do you need from me?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need tile repair in Maidenhall Estate

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Maidenhall Estate

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maidenhall Estate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
