Tile repair for Kelty homes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

About our tile repair in Kelty

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kelty questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Kelty?

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

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Kelty

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Kelty

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
