Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle tile repair in Chattenden
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Chattenden
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Chattenden get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Chattenden questions
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Chattenden?
We do. Technicians travel to Chattenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?
