Tile repair in Herne Common

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Tile repair in Herne Common without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Herne Common

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Herne Common

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Herne Common: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Herne Common?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Herne Common. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
