Tile repair in Clachan, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Clachan
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Clachan included. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
