Tile repair at your home in Crookedholm
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Crookedholm
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Ayrshire.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Crookedholm, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crookedholm. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
