How we handle tile repair in Waldershare

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Waldershare and across Kent. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Waldershare

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Waldershare and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Waldershare

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Waldershare

Repairing versus replacing in Waldershare

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waldershare

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
