Tile repair near Cadham

Tile repair in Cadham without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cadham and across Fife. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cadham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Cadham

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cadham. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
