How we handle tile repair in Wincheap
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Wincheap?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Other services in Wincheap
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
