About our tile repair in St Leonards

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in St Leonards?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about tile repair in St Leonards

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

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

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN38 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
