Trusted tile repair in Chartham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle tile repair in Chartham

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Chartham?

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Chartham

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chartham. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chartham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Chartham

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

  • Porcelain tiles

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Chartham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about tile repair in Chartham

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
