Tile repair at your home in Balgowan
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Balgowan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
