How we handle tile repair in Mill Street
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 say so. If you have discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.
In a village like Mill Street, floors in older homes may be original, which are worth keeping. A repair keeps them.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mill Street as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We will agree timings that suit the building.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?

Common problems we fix in Mill 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 are asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
If you manage a building such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, we repair tiled corridors and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Replacement in Mill Street means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Mill Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the tile repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mill Street. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mill Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
