Book tile repair in Kilton

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Tile repair in Kilton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Questions from Kilton

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Kilton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
