About our tile repair in Gillingham
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. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Gillingham
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
