Tile repair for Southwick homes

About our tile repair in Southwick

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwick

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Southwick

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Southwick

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Southwick included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Southwick?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
