DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle tile repair in Shouldham Thorpe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
