Questions from Old Catton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Old Catton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Old Catton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Old Catton and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Tile repair at your home in Old Catton
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit

- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Catton
If you manage property in Old Catton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Catton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
