How we handle tile repair in Kirkinner
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our full price list.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kirkinner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Kirkinner: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
