Tile Repair in Trunch
Local tile repair for Trunch: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle tile repair in Trunch
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Trunch, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Trunch
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Trunch
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
