- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit

Common questions in Old Wives Lees
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Wives Lees included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we’re called out for in Old Wives Lees
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges

- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Wives Lees. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Old Wives Lees
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
