Questions from Ringmer

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Ringmer?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Tile repair in Ringmer without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ringmer and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you need tile repair in Ringmer?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before booking.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Related advice

What tile repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
