Tile repair in Garlinge, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Garlinge questions
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Garlinge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Garlinge and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
