About our tile repair in Leysdown-on-Sea

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Leysdown-on-Sea and across Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leysdown-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Leysdown-on-Sea: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Leysdown-on-Sea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Leysdown-on-Sea for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What affects the price in Leysdown-on-Sea

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Leysdown-on-Sea, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
