How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Tile repair at your home in Cardonald
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Cardonald
Do you work in Cardonald?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cardonald and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need tile repair in Cardonald?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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 before you book.
Materials we work on in Cardonald
- Floor and wall tiles

What affects the price in Cardonald
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cardonald, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Cardonald
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cardonald. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
