Tile repair for Otford homes

Tile repair in Otford, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Otford: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you cover Otford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Otford and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need tile repair in Otford?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Otford

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
