What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

About our tile repair in Uplees

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Uplees questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Uplees?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Uplees. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uplees as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Uplees, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we are called out for in Uplees

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Uplees. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Uplees, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
