Your questions about tile repair in Marden Thorn
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Marden Thorn and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Marden Thorn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Tile repair in Marden Thorn, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Marden Thorn. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Marden Thorn
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.
