DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Tile repair at your home in Riverhead
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Riverhead and across Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about tile repair in Riverhead
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What affects the price in Riverhead
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Riverhead. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
