About our tile repair in Kelhead

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kelhead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Kelhead

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does tile repair cost in Kelhead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Do I need to be at home?
