DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston by Sea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Kingston by Sea: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Kingston by Sea?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
