About our tile repair in Ruckinge
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What else we do in Ruckinge
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For a price in Ruckinge, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need tile repair in Ruckinge?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Questions from Ruckinge
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How much does tile repair cost in Ruckinge?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
