About tile repair in Falkirk

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Falkirk

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile.

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
