About our tile repair in Cairndow
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Common questions in Cairndow
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Cairndow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cairndow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

What affects the price in Cairndow
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Cairndow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cairndow
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
