How tile repair works in Renfrewshire

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

What you’ll pay

Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landmarks near Paisley

Around Paisley, we work in homes near Castlehead High School, St Luke's Church and Gallows Green, among other places. There is a railway station in Paisley itself: Paisley Canal station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Riccartsbar Hospital (less than half a mile west) and Paisley Museum (0.6 miles north). The countryside around Paisley includes Walls Loch and Neilston Pad.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Renfrewshire. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace?

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Landlord and trade work in Renfrewshire

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

When can you do it?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
