Tile repair in The Heath, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Heath and across Suffolk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in The Heath
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The Heath questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including The Heath and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to The Heath?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What else we do in The Heath
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Do you need tile repair in The Heath?

- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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.
How to prepare

What affects the price in The Heath
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
