Tile Repair for Kentford homes
Damaged tiled area in Kentford? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Tile repair in Kentford, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Kentford
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Kentford
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kentford included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
