Tile repair near Ashley

Tile repair in Ashley, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When we’d 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Ashley: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT15 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What affects the price in Ashley

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
