About our tile repair in Dalgety Bay

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Common problems we fix in Dalgety Bay

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Dalgety Bay

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Dalgety Bay, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Dalgety Bay: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
