How to compare quotes

Tile repair in Buttsole without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Buttsole questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Buttsole and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Buttsole?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Buttsole, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
