Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Tile repair at your home in Dover
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Dover
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Dover?
We do. Technicians travel to Dover from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
