Tile repair in Allanton, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Allanton

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Should you replace it?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
