DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Your questions about tile repair in Ballingry

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are there extra charges for Ballingry?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Ballingry, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
