Trusted tile repair in Gavinton

Tile repair in Gavinton without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gavinton. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
