FAQs for Newmarket

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Newmarket?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newmarket and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Tile repair in Newmarket without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Newmarket

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
