Tile repair in Kells 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’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
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. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kells. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- Chips from dropped pans and tools

How the visit works
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.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles

Kells questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Kells and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
