How we handle tile repair in Kelvinhaugh

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Kelvinhaugh

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kelvinhaugh. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kelvinhaugh

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

Landlord and trade work in Kelvinhaugh

If you manage property in Kelvinhaugh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Kelvinhaugh?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
