Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How we handle tile repair in Caddonfoot
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Caddonfoot
If you manage property in Caddonfoot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
