About our tile repair in Broughty Ferry

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Broughty Ferry questions

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
