Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Pett Bottom get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our tile repair in Pett Bottom
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Questions from Pett Bottom
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Pett Bottom?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pett Bottom. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Common problems we fix in Pett Bottom
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
