Need tile repair in Cowcaddens?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tile repair at your home in Cowcaddens

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles

When to call us in Cowcaddens

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about tile repair in Cowcaddens

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

We work UK-wide, so Cowcaddens is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cowcaddens. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
