About our tile repair in Kingsdown
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Kingsdown questions
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Kingsdown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kingsdown. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Kingsdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Kingsdown

- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.

Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
