Tile repair at your home in Keal Cotes

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Keal Cotes

Are there extra charges for Keal Cotes?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Landlord and trade work in Keal Cotes

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keal Cotes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
