Tile repair for The Moor homes

Tile repair at your home in The Moor

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’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Moor as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in The Moor?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

The Moor: your questions answered

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover The Moor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to The Moor and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When to call us in The Moor

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
