Tile repair service in Kenya

Replace isolated damaged tiles while identifying visible underlying defects.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: Replace three damaged 300 × 300 mm floor tiles in one accessible room, using owner-approved matching stock and a competent tiler. The visible replacement area is 0.27 square metres, but assessment, careful removal and curing still require a minimum project visit. Exclude structural cracking, leaking wet-room systems and uncertain old adhesive that needs specialist assessment.

Who is the first customer?

Landlords and facilities supervisors handling minor defects.
