About our tile repair in Upper Harbledown

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Upper Harbledown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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