About our tile repair in Wantisden
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles

Wantisden questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Wantisden and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
