How we handle tile repair in Tuckingmill
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 work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Tuckingmill
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do I have to be there?

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
