Tile repair in Old Hawkinge

The process

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

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

About our tile repair in Old Hawkinge

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Old Hawkinge: your questions answered

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace in Old Hawkinge?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Old Hawkinge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
