Tile repair near Shatterling

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 typically cheaper.

About our tile repair in Shatterling

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Shatterling

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Do you need tile repair in Shatterling?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

What affects the price in Shatterling

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
