How we handle tile repair in St Cross South Elmham
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

St Cross South Elmham: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for St Cross South Elmham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including St Cross South Elmham and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
