Tile repair in Hartlip without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hartlip and across Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Hartlip
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Hartlip?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hartlip from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hartlip. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
