FAQs for Rackham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Tile repair at your home in Rackham
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
