How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our tile repair in Cooling Street

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Common problems we fix in Cooling Street

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Cooling Street questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Cooling Street?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cooling Street. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
