About our tile repair in Cowlairs

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowlairs

If you manage property in Cowlairs, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cowlairs

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cowlairs. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Cowlairs

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Repairing versus replacing in Cowlairs

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
