Tile repair for Rendlesham homes

Tile repair at your home in Rendlesham

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Rendlesham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Rendlesham: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

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

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Rendlesham

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
