DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Tile repair in Auchinleck without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Auchinleck and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
