Tile repair in Puddledock

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Tile repair at your home in Puddledock

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need tile repair in Puddledock?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Puddledock: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Puddledock included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace in Puddledock?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
