About our tile repair in Cambuslang

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cambuslang. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Cambuslang and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Cambuslang

Repairing versus replacing in Cambuslang

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common questions in Cambuslang

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
