About our tile repair in Kames
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kames questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Kames?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kames. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kames. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
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 few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
