About our tile repair in Old Shoreham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Shoreham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Shoreham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Shoreham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
