Tile repair in Whitfield without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Whitfield

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitfield. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Whitfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitfield

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
