Our hiring checklist

How we handle tile repair in Upthorpe

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Upthorpe

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
