Tile repair in Birkhill, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Birkhill?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Birkhill

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Birkhill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Birkhill: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Birkhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Birkhill and the rest of Dundee. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birkhill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Birkhill

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
