Tile repair in Newenden without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Newenden

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newenden. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Your questions about tile repair in Newenden

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Newenden included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Newenden

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newenden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
