Tile repair for Kames homes

About our tile repair in Kames

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Kames

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Kames?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Kames?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kames and the rest of East Ayrshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kames. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kames, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
