Tile repair in Kingston without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kingston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Kingston

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Kingston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about tile repair in Kingston

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Kingston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH39 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
