Tile repair at your home in Auchtertool
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Auchtertool as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Auchtertool
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Auchtertool
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Fife.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Auchtertool. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
