Tile repair near Teston

Tile repair in Teston without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
