Tile repair in California, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Falkirk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in California
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why California customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Common problems we fix in California
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Common reasons people in California contact us are:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
Landlord and trade work in California
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

California questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover California?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to California for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes California. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
