How we handle tile repair in Kernick
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kernick and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Kernick
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kernick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Kernick questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Kernick?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
