FAQs for Keele

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How we handle tile repair in Keele

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Keele and across Staffordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Keele. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Keele, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Keele, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Keele

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
