Tile repair in South Chailey, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in South Chailey
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in South Chailey.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What affects the price in South Chailey
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Chailey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need tile repair in South Chailey?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Chailey, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
