Tile Repair in Birnam
Tile repair for Birnam, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our tile repair in Birnam
We repair the tile in place, 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 work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
