Tile repair in Penenden Heath

About our tile repair in Penenden Heath

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penenden Heath. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penenden Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Penenden Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Penenden Heath

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
