Need tile repair in Ardwell?

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are 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.

Tile repair at your home in Ardwell

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ardwell as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ardwell questions

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does tile repair cost in Ardwell?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Ardwell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ardwell and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
