Need tile repair in Kilkenny?

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

How we handle tile repair in Kilkenny

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

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

Kilkenny: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Kilkenny included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What affects the price in Kilkenny

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilkenny

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilkenny use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

It helps to know what we can’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
