How we handle tile repair in Kingsdown

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Kingsdown

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What affects the price in Kingsdown

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kingsdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
