How we handle tile repair in Shepway

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shepway and across Kent. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Shepway

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Drill holes from removed fittings

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about tile repair in Shepway

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME15 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
