Tile repair in Washbrook without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Washbrook
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Washbrook
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Washbrook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
