Tile repair at your home in Ripe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Ripe
How much does tile repair cost in Ripe?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ripe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Ripe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Ripe
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
