Tile repair at your home in Rye Harbour

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rye Harbour. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Rye Harbour

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN31 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
