About our tile repair in Drumbrae
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about tile repair in Drumbrae
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Drumbrae?
We do. Technicians travel to Drumbrae from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Drumbrae, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Drumbrae. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
