Tile repair in Kaimes without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kaimes. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Kaimes questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Kaimes?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kaimes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it is not loose.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
