How we handle tile repair in Cranbrook

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’ll say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Cranbrook

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cranbrook. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about tile repair in Cranbrook

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cranbrook.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Cranbrook

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranbrook

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranbrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally 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. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
