Tile repair at your home in Shottisham
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Shottisham questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Shottisham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
What we’re called out for in Shottisham

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shottisham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
