How we handle tile repair in Dunlop

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

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

Common questions in Dunlop

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Dunlop?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Dunlop, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunlop

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
