Tile repair for Upper Wellingham homes

Tile repair in Upper Wellingham without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Upper Wellingham

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Upper Wellingham

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
