About our tile repair in Ardler
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How much does tile repair cost in Ardler?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Ardler and the rest of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Ardler?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ardler from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Ardler, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
