Tile repair for Colliston homes

Tile repair in Colliston, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Colliston as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Colliston

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colliston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Colliston

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colliston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
