Repairing versus replacing in Herne

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Tile repair in Herne, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Herne questions

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Herne. Prices don’t change with location.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Herne

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Herne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Herne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
