Your questions about tile repair in Saltmarsh
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Saltmarsh?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Saltmarsh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How we handle tile repair in Saltmarsh
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

What affects the price in Saltmarsh
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Saltmarsh. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Repairing versus replacing in Saltmarsh
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Saltmarsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 will say what we think.
