Your questions about tile repair in Swanley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Swanley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Tile repair at your home in Swanley
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Swanley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles

When to call us in Swanley
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
