Tile repair for Piddinghoe homes

About our tile repair in Piddinghoe

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Piddinghoe as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Piddinghoe: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlord and trade work in Piddinghoe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Piddinghoe

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Piddinghoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Piddinghoe?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
