About our tile repair in West Dean

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

West Dean: your questions answered

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Dean included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to West Dean?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Dean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Dean. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Dean

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Dean as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
