About our tile repair in Earlsferry
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Earlsferry
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Earlsferry
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

FAQs for Earlsferry
Is there any odour?

Can you price it without visiting?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. 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.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
