Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

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

FAQs for Kelton Hill

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does tile repair cost?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Kelton Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Signs you need tile repair in Kelton Hill

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Kelton Hill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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