How we handle tile repair in Carnkie
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 will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Carnkie
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Carnkie. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Carnkie questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
