Tile repair in Ashford in the Water without replacing anything
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’ll say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ashford in the Water as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ashford in the Water: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Ashford in the Water?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Ashford in the Water?
We do. We send a technician to Ashford in the Water for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the tile and remove 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
