About our tile repair in Sompting

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Sompting

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about tile repair in Sompting

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
