How tile repair works in Larne
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repair or replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is.
What your quote should include

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
