Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle tile repair in Royal Tunbridge Wells
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Royal Tunbridge Wells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
