Tile repair near Keills

Tile repair in Keills without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Keills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Questions from Keills

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Keills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Keills, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
