How we handle tile repair in Giffnock
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Giffnock
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Giffnock get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
