Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

How we handle tile repair in Margate
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Most clients in Margate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Margate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Margate
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
What else we do in Margate
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Margate questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT9 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Margate and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
