DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Thornham Parva

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Thornham Parva: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
