How we handle tile repair in Shortgate
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Shortgate
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Shortgate questions
Do you work in Shortgate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shortgate and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When a repair is not the answer

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repair or replace: which is better?
