Questions from Lyminge

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How we handle tile repair in Lyminge

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lyminge and across Kent. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Lyminge?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Lyminge

If you manage property in Lyminge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lyminge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Lyminge and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
