Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Upper Layham
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Look out for these signs:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Questions from Upper Layham
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Layham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
