Tile repair near Tide Mills

Tile repair in Tide Mills, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Tide Mills

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Tide Mills?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

What we are called out for in Tide Mills

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
