Tile repair near Shipmeadow

Tile repair in Shipmeadow, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Shipmeadow

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Shipmeadow?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shipmeadow and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Shipmeadow and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Shipmeadow

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shipmeadow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Shipmeadow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
