Tile repair in Arthurlie

How we handle tile repair in Arthurlie

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Renfrewshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Arthurlie: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
