Tile repair in Bielside without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bielside: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What affects the price in Bielside
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
