Bowmore questions
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How much does tile repair cost in Bowmore?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bowmore.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Tile repair in Bowmore, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bowmore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
