- Repairs from £95
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
How we handle tile repair in Upchurch
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upchurch use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair

Common questions in Upchurch
Do you come to Upchurch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upchurch. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
