How we handle tile repair in Charleston

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Charleston and across Dundee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Charleston

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Charleston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Charleston

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do you come to Charleston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Charleston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Dundee?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Charleston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Charleston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
