Tile repair near How Green

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our tile repair in How Green

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in How Green as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for How Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work in How Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to How Green and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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